June Lifestyle Post | Blog turned 3!

Hello!!! I'm going to share my monthly update post for June today along with my Document Your Life video for June at the end! Also my document your life vidoes are now on my VLOG channel!

The first thing I want to talk about is that my blog turned 3 on the 10th or 11th of June! I had planned to do a summer essentials post for that day because that was my first blog post that I ever did and I honored that on my second blog anniversary. However my ditzy ass totally missed my own blog anniversary this year LOL! Anyways- I wanted to thank each and every one of you who have stuck with me, been my friend, commented on and followed my blog! It means the world to me and I consider so many of you my good friends!

On to what I was up to in June!

At the beginning of June we had a surprise party for my friend Steph. Tons of fun and drinking lol!

Me and my BFF hannah got to go eat some Pho in Ann Arbor and it was delicious! 

My little niece had her first dance recital. So cute. 

We had a huge bon fire with all our friends and it was tons of fun. I did however get ate to death by Mosquitos on my feet. I would show you but I don't think you'd want to see it ha ha. 

Hubby got me a Polaroid camera for my birthday! 

We hungout at my parents for my brithday and went swimming in the lake.

That was about it for June! Spent a lot of time with friends and enjoyed the weather when it wasn't raining out! To see more watch my DYL movie!

February Life Post + Video

Hello! Happy March 1st!! Today I'm going to blog about my life in February! I also have another Document Your Life Video to share, which I will post at the end of this video!

Lets start off with me being sick for the past week. I got stuck with a cold and horrible headaches. Which is why I have not blogged much this week. I've been feeling blah and haven't even wanted to put on makeup or do anything fancy with myself. Thank you all for your get well wishes on my last post, it really made me feel better! This has also set back my workouts and fitness routine which sucks so hopefully this week I can get back into it since I'm feeling mostly better now. I have some healthy food and fitness posts ideas that I will do soon, as well as some exciting beauty posts!

At the beginning of the month my niece and nephew had their birthday party so I will share some pictures from that.

She turned 4 on valentines day and is my favorite little person in this world!

My nephew turned 1 on the 12th, so it was exciting having his first birthday!

Heres the 'fancy' dinner I made on Valentines day for my husband.

On the 16th we went to a Detroit Red Wings Game, which was his presents from me on Valentines Day. I was so excited when I booked the tickets a week ahead of time that I had to tell him because I'm so bad at keeping secrets about presents haha!

For Valentines Day my husband finished one of our extra bedrooms into a beauty room/office for me. I wasn't aloud to see if until it was done and I was super excited about it! He picked out all of the furniture, paint colors, etc. Now I have a place to do hair, makeup, and film youtube videos (maybe).

Last weekend we got to celebrate the Chinese/Lunar New Years which was so fun because we have never experienced it before. Everyone I work with is from Vietnam and they were kind enough to invite me and my husband over to celebrate. We got to eat a ton of delicious traditional Vietnamese food, and yay lucky money!

And here is my cats cuddling because its a rare sight so I had to take a pictures.

Extra bits-

-I've been addicted to watching Gossip Girl on Netflix. I'm almost done with sea on 5. My husband and I have been watching season 3 of American Horror Story on Netflix and its soooo good! Do any of your watch this??

-We've also been obsessed with American Idol. I think there are a lot of great singers this year!

-I finished reading The Winter Rose, and now I'm reading The Wild Rose which is the third and last book in the series. I also read The Duff, and I kind of want to see the movie. 

-Speaking of books, all I've wanted to read lately is historical fiction ever since I've started The Tea Rose series. I also have The Other Boleyn Girl, Outlanders, and Fall of the Giants in my to read pile. Someone tell me some other good ones to read!

So there is my DYL video for February! Enjoy!

Did you guys have a good February? Let me know if you did anything fun in the comments!

January Lifestyle Post + Document your Life Video!

Hi friends :)

Almost a year ago I was doing weekly posts that had updates with my life and photos of what I was doing, and I stopped doing them because I became bored and let's face it- my life isn't super exciting. So I thought I would do monlthy ones instead and have been meaning I do them for a while. I thought this would be a good time to start since it's the beginning of the year!

So basically I'm going to share some fun things I did during the month, share some personal favorite things, and just talk to you guys! I love reading personal posts from my friends that I follow so I can get to know them better so now I'm doing the same. 

Also I'm excited to announce that I'm going to participate in Document Your Life this year on YouTube! These posts will kind of go along with the videos, and I'm super excited to partake in this. Also please note that I am not very good at editing vidoes and this is the first one I've ever done ha ha. Hopefully next month my editing will be a little bit better now that I've learned how to use my camera more (and that I need to hold my cell phone sideways so my videos will be full screen >.<). I will link the video at the end of the post if any of you will want to watch it. 

Anyways- lets get into what I was up to this month! 

It's currently snowing like crazy outside! Also- happy super bowl Sunday to any of you who watch it (I do not ha ha ha). 

We've been working on a home gym in our basement and now we have all of our equipment. 

Hubby and I have spent a lot of time on fitness and eating healthy this month. I'm super excited about it and can't wait to see all of my progress and share it through the health and fitness posts that I have planned for my blog!

I've been working on reading this massive book all month. It's about 700 pages and I'm half way through. It's the sequel to the Tea Rose, which I read in December (also massive) and it became my favorite book I've read, so everyone who loves to read should go check it out! This second book is really good too, and there's a third that I'm going to read next. 

We went to the Frankenmuth Snowfest last weekend with friends. It was super fun but really cold out! You'll see some video clips from it if you want my video at the end!

We are at the Brewery while we were there. So yummy!

I think that's about all the excitement I had in January. Not too much was going on so hopefully February will be more exciting! 

Enjoy my video if you want to watch it! Thank you all for reading! 

What was the highlight of your month?
